Every time you move, whether it’s walking, dancing, or vacuuming, you flood your brain with dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. Experts call it a “neurochemical bubble bath,” a natural mood-lifter that eases stress within minutes.
But the benefits go beyond the moment. Regular movement helps your hippocampus grow new cells and strengthens your prefrontal cortex, sharpening memory, focus, and decision-making while protecting the brain from age-related decline.
The best part is you don’t need marathons, just joyful activity. Dance in your living room, garden in the sun, or walk with friends. Small, consistent movements build lasting brain health.
